Is there anyway to keep an internet site from changing my home page?
There has to be a security setting or something i can enable, it gets pretty annoying, when i have to change my homepage when i'm web browsing and open up another IE.
Usually the only way a website can change your home page, is by prompting you. If you goto websites and it automaticly sets your homepages, then you probably have the prompt setting disabled.
"Would you like to set your homepage to http://www.*****.com?
Yes No "
Try downloading the latest version of internet explorer and making sure you have all the critical updates from the microsoft website.
If that doesn't work, try going into Tools/Internet Options/Advanced
and look at some of the security or browsing options. Try setting them all as default.
this is the fix I get from that yeah this is hard to control. disabling bots is pretty much necessary as ai and other bots would push really old threads to the top. reduce weight of view count. disable guest view tracking if you really want to push active threads to the top. a bit of tinkering for a few days with the weights and other settings should get you a decent trending widget box.
One thing I have noticed and I dont know if it is by design but like 1 out of 3 times I come to the site the Anubis screen just hangs open, if I refresh it will go away but sometimes it hangs
Wow - the change in the stats are major. I kind of knew it was all bots but wow, to see the effect. Why the social media sites cant do something like this I have no idea.
Yeah google does not filter those bots. I remember when Apex was doing Google ads I saw the same IPs in there as I was seeing here - google is totally tracking all those bots as traffic and most google traffic, at least ours, was all bots
Weekend went by too fast. Next weekend I am going to try to do a nature thing - buddy of mine lives by the Colorado river and has some kayaks and invited me to do some kayaking from a place he knows to get on the river.
